In this era of technological advances in eyecare, contact lenses have not been left behind.
New, silicone based, lenses provide a much higher level of oxygen transmission as compared with traditional materials. Lenses like the Acuvue Oasys take advantage of these materials to provide a greater degree of all day comfort, visual clarity and safety for millions of contact lens wearers. Even for patients who had previously failed in contact lenses due to poor comfort or dryness may be pleasantly surprised with these new lenses.
These new lenses are beneficial for children, especially because of the great safety margin they provide. If you want your child to see what is involved in caring for contacts, watch the following video.
Another advance has come in the form of vastly improved contact lenses for patients with astigmatism. Historically, these lenses have been plagued by poor consistency, poor comfort and high cost. Recently things have improved greatly, especially as a result of the superb new Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism. If you have been told in the past that you could not wear contacts because of astigmatism, you may be in luck!
Single wear, true one day disposable lenses offer the ultimate in safety and sterility. These lenses cost a bit more than regular contacts for the average person who wears contacts daily, but may be an ideal solution for the occasional wearer or those with severe allergy problems.
